| C.D. Smith is a Tallahassee, Florida artist who has spent a lifetime studying, drawing and painting. In his later work, he has chosen the genres of landscape and seascape, but he says, "these are merely motifs, a poetic framework that may be pushed toward a more universal and meaningful vision. My position is that of a cipher, interpreting the spiritual significance of the profound beauty of nature." |

| I try to make people see how wonderful, awesome and beautiful nature is. Not in the sense that it is Disney pretty, but fully realizing that it's the great cycle of life and death. When people look at my work, I hope people sense that stillness that you can feel when you really respect something - and you're faced with something that is very beautiful and you reach out and try to touch eternity. |
